Assisting Parents and Children Through Difficult Times

Any divorce has the potential to cause problems that affect the whole family.

Consequently, any number of problems can arise, from the non-payment of child support to the violation of a court order.

Parenting Problems — Situations

Divorce can be an emotionally-charged time. From there, any number of problems can arise. At the Law Offices of Randy W. Medina, APLC, we frequently handle divorce-related problems involving the following:

• Visitation-related problems — For example, one parent may try to convince the child that the other parent is a bad person, causing the child to hold ill feelings against the other parent. This could affect the child's feelings about visitation and seeing the parent.
• Agreement violations — For example, one parent may violate an agreement on child support or visitation. If child support is not being paid, court-ordered child support enforcement may become necessary.
• Child support arrearages — Interest and penalties accrue on any unpaid support. Oftentimes support payments may not be properly credited, thus leading to errors in the amount of support owed. This term refers to the non-payment of child support built up over time by the non-custodial parent. This issue frequently arises in stepparent adoptions, where the adopting parent realizes what is owed.

Los Angeles County Parenting Problems — How we Can Help

When parenting issues arise during and after divorce, the help of an experienced divorce attorney can make all the difference. Attorney Randy W. Medina is highly experienced in all areas of family law, from divorce to child support enforcements.

If parents are having difficulty transitioning from married parents to divorced parents, there are training programs available to teaching about effective co-parenting. These programs encourage frequent and continuing contact of children with both parents.

It is also important to note that many divorce-related issues are temporary matters. After the pain of divorce goes away, couples usually become more cooperative, allowing them both to focus more on parenting and less on their personal issues.
